It's ironic that I heard Ketanji Brown Jackson at her Supreme Court confirmation hearing this morning, defending her work defending Guantanamo detainees as their public defender.
As she (rightfully imho and more eloquently) put it, a core aspect of the US legal tradition is that everyone deserves representation. Regardless of what they're accused of doing and who they are.
